New Schecter Models Megathread

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

First, we have the Banshee 8-string, as shown before.

And then the return of the Classic series, including the old fixed bridge version and a new Floyd Rose-equipped one.

They're also talking about expanding the Banshee series to have a 7-string version, and will have a Hipshot-loaded bridge.
They also posted a picture of a Hipshot-loaded 6-string with what looks like Duncan Black Winters.

And this appears to be the other 7-string they were talking about with a Hipshot, as well as the 57-7/66-7 set. They're calling it the "Hellraiser Hybrid" it seems.

SNEAK PEEK 2014 .... HELLRAISER HYBRID coming

So, instead of bumping the 2013 thread, I decided to make this new one for the pre-WNAMM/post-WNAMM stuff.

Dunno what the "Hybrid" will be, but seems that they're using the offset-dot instead of the regular abalone cross, the new EMGs (don't remember their number), an hipshot and a shitload less abalone binding.

Seems that I bought my Hellraiser a couple of years to soon. Schecter is upping their game for sure

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Pretty sure the Hellraiser Hybrid will be... well... a Hellraiser. Just something people will want to buy, since it has passive routes, a (looks like) Ebony board, offset dots, passive routes (EMG 57-7H/66-7H), and a Hipshot-style bridge.

I want a 7 stringer of the banshee w/hipshot. Purple quilt maybe? Hate sunburst or whatever that one is. Looks great though, good thing they listened to the people and didn't stick with FR only models.

 

[Forkface]

aww man, i was hoping for direct-mount pickups on the seven as well, but I guess we can't have everything

it seems they nailed everything else though, ebony, passives, hipshot... hopefully we'll get some nice color options and these'll sell like pancakes

You may get your wish with the Banshee if it's like the 6 and 8 string.

yeah, I need to improve my decision-making skills before namm hits or my debt is gonna look like the US goverment's

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Unfortunately it's a limited reissue apparently.

 

[Zado]

Awww I just wanted EMG 57/66,not the JH set

 

[Lorcan Ward]

Thank fook they didn't use a Tone-Pros on the Banshee model. I'm defintely getting one of the 7s next year. It looks like they are ditching the usual 707s for a 57/66-7 set!

 

[HUGH JAYNUS]

if its got a hipshot, and direct mount pups, sign me up for a 6 and a 7

 

[Robby the Robot]

So Schecter is Ibanez and Ibanez is Schecter now?

Nah the new models look great though. Looks like Schecter is listing to the demand of customers more. I wish they'd bring back the A-7 and the likes though. n

Also,mid 2014 will see USA prod. Solo model and maple fingerboard loaded banshee as special edition

USA Banshee 7 with a 26.5" would be incredible. I'd get one in a heartbeat.

well the CET model is very similar

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Like this?

But yeah, I don't think USA production Schecter 7s will be 26.5... Seems like they're going all-out and using 27'' scales.

 

[ONE]

That Hellraiser will be mine!

 

[Lillub85]

7 string banshee with a hipshot bridge... YES PLEASE!!!

 

[TheWarAgainstTime]

I'm actually kinda excited to hear more about the Hellraiser Hybrid

Good on you, Schecter. Givin' us what we want
